On your local computer, export the database to an SQL Script, then create a database on the remote server, and use the sl script to create the tables.
before uploading everything, you will need to modify the connection settings to use the correct information to connect to the remote server.
after the files are uploaded, you can change the connection settings back to connect to the local server, just remember not to upload the connection file again. I always set the connection file on the server to be read only so it cannot get overwritten by the local settings by accident.
