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:
grant all privileges on database clients to user pgAdmin
I am certain I know that users password yet I cannot connect with it from my workstation. Do you think the pgpass file will help in this instance?

Sounds like a hunt for the pgpass file is recommended:
