I am developing a web site application that I had hoped to host on an external site. So, I thought I would write a little test application to see if I could create the tables and access them. I could access the sql server hosted on the external site.

My question is: When I run the site from the hosted site, should I be able to also connect to my local sql server? I was thinking I would be able to have a connection to both and transfer data.

to transfer your data, backup and restore it and change your web.config file to point to the restored external db

if you are using app_data folder, simply upload and give it read and write permissions

My hosting service only lets you restore databases backed up on their system.

Should I be able to connect to both servers? Or is that a security thing?
