Dumping Mysql database using Putty/SSH ?

[WebMonster]

My question is when i dump the database using a command like so

mysql -u forum_for43 -p forum_forum42 < /home/forum/forum_forum427.sql;

I am prompted for the users pass so i put it in and then putty gives no response .

Now i know its dumping the DB because i have had to do it now a second time as the database was too big .

How long should it take for a database of 1.6gb take to dump ?
