MySQL - Server has gone away

[Beauford]

I am getting a 'Server has gone away error' when trying to restore a large
database or table through PHPAdmin or other similar programs (17meg file). This is usually due to the max_allowed_packet being set too low. Apparantly it's set to 16m on the Steadfast server, which should be good enough, but still have problems.

Anyone know how I can do this from the Steadfast shell account. This is just an sql dump.

Thanks

Can you split the file into two parts and upload each separately?
