Re: [GNC] wells fargo downloads
If I can jump in here I would like to learn more about OFX Direct Connect with GnuCash. Does such automatically determine what transactions occur at the bank that are not in GC...And then automatically update GnuCash? Or what? Thanks.

There are two ways of connecting to a bank for OFX online communication, OFX Direct Connect and OFX Web Connect. The former collects your user name and password as part of the online session and the latter has you log in to the bank's website and launch the OFX session from there. The way that the bank's website connects to the financial software is proprietary to Intuit, the makers of Quicken, so that it works only with their products. GnuCash is able to work only with OFX Direct Connect.

Re: [GNC] wells fargo downloads
You did not tell us which version of Gnucash you installed or which operating system your computer is using. Since the solution, if there is one, varies depending on that information, we need the info. I suspect that you may be trying to use OFX Direct Connect, which requires outside software and may or may not work with your financial institution. An alternative that many US users use is to open the bank's website and download your data in QIF or OFX format, then import it offline.

[GNC] wells fargo downloads
I'm new to Gnu and am having issues setting up online downloads. My first attempt is Wells Fargo and I get a 2000 error message. The Tutorial show Wells Fargo in its example but I've also seen this statement on the web: Wells Fargo has switched to OFX Web Connect. GnuCash doesn't support this authentication. So, I'm stuck and confused. Grateful for your help. *Regards,Doug* ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
