Putty will let you connect via SSH but you need to setup a user on the server.
I'm not sure how you access your server now, but if you have command line access this doc should help you out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/Op...onfiguring
I used the same one to set SSH up on my server
If your 'app' or script is on the same server, the database should be localhost. If you are able to log into phpmyadmin with the same credentials you use for your script, it should be working just fine.
No idea about laravel/composer
