If you use PHP there then it is probably neccessery to recompile PHP

If it's a Unix/Linux box you can dump your local db and ssh to the
remote machine, running psql with i/o-redirection from the local
machine. ssh crypts and can compress on the fly.

You then don't need to open the postgres tcp-port to the world because
you run psql on the remote machine.
