mongodb - how to mongoimport data to deployed meteor app?

Question

UPDATE: this post applied to meteor.com free hosting, which has been shutdown and replaced with Galaxy, a paid Meteor hosting service

I'm using this command

C:kanjifinder>meteor mongo --url kanjifinder.meteor.com

to get access credentials to my deployed mongo app, but I can't get mongoimport to work with the credentials. I think I just don't exactly understand which part is the username, password and client. Could you break it down for me?

result from server (I modified it to obfuscate the real values):

mongodb://client:[email protected]:27017/kanjifinder_meteor_com

my mongoimport attempt (fails authentication):

C:mongodbin>mongoimport -h meteor.m0.mongolayer.com:27017 -u client -p e63aaade-xxxx-yyyy-93e4-de0c1b80416f --db meteor --collection kanji --type csv --file c:kanjifinderkanjifinder.csv --headerline

OK got it. This helped: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/connection-string/

mongoimport --host meteor.m0.mongolayer.com --port 27017 --username client --password e63aaade-xxxx-yyyy-93e4-de0c1b80416f --db kanjifinder_meteor_com --collection kanji --type csv --file c:kanjifinderkanjifinder.csv --headerline
