In order to fix the issue, I recommend you update the tool to the latest version. If it doesn't help, use the contact page from the official website to get in touch with the support team. Alternatively, you can try to retrieve the images via PHP, ASP.NET or C#. You can find tutorials using Google search engine.

You can't download a song or a video from YouTube with MySQL Connector/ODBC because the application is used to connect with a MySQL database server via ODBC. In order to download a song from YouTube, you can use Free YouTube Downloader. Once you start the application, paste any YouTube URL in the Paste URL field, select a destination folder and click Download.

The company demands to create a solution so that employees to work from their homes. I didn't commit since they aren't able to access the program because LAN connection is limited to our office.

Answer by Julia Bocchetta

This is a solution used on local computers, for databases that are installed on the same computers. However, as I can see from the images provided, the software can be used to access databases found on the servers connected to the Internet. When you configure the connection, make sure to choose the IP or hostname of the servers and you should be able to connect. Yes, it can be used for Internet connections to databases.
