Currently I use the backup/restore function in Cpanel to download/upload my database. Is there are a way I can just FTP into a folder and do the same? Thanks.

Is this ODBC or MySQL? .... I think your answer will be no if you are on a shared server. This will not be accessible for your user account ...

I'm runing MySql on my own dedicated server. Im hoping there is a way to simply FTP into the server and upload/download the database?

uploading and downloading the databases' storage files is probably not the best idea. Getting extractions of the data is the safest path.

Use the command line (ssh) to mysqldump into a directory - or phpMyAdmin offers a similar method. Instructions for importing a dumpfile back into a database is there in the manual...
