How can I connect to mongo db that locating on remote server from my machine?

Something like:

  • Does the above fail when you put in the correct hostname for the remote server? It looks like it should work. What's the error you see if it fails? Commented Sep 11, 2014 at 18:58

Does the second connection attempt fail for you, by reading Mongoose's documentation it seems like you have done it correctly:

mongoose.connect('mongodb://username:password@host:port/database?options...');

Maybe you are missing the credentials to the server? See this link for more information: http://mongoosejs.com/docs/connections.html, or see MongoDB's connection documentation: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/reference/connection-string/.
