Thanks for the response. I was able to get postgres user to connect to the remote database by using the 'alter user' command from within psql. However, I am unable to connect to the same server with a different user. I created a generic user called pgAdmin and used the command:

Have you checked your pg_hba.conf file in your PostgreSQL server (if you have access to it)?
Maybe it's not allowed to connect remotely as a regular user but postgres.
Best regards
