    I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. Do you have access to those databases ? If you do

    enable your MySQL server for remote access

    grant all privileges on *.* to USERBLOGIN@000.000.000.000 identified by "USERBPASSWORD";
    Code (markup):
    *.* (Means all databases)
    User B login must be replaced by your login on server B
    Replace 000.000... by the IP
    and UserBpassword by your password on server B

    Just be cautious opening up your server to remote SQL/MySQL connections it can open up a whole host of security concerns.

    You can also just do a mysql dump then copy the file over and import it. It is more secure than opening up your database.
