OFX Direct Connect Bank Settings
Here are some settings for banks and credit cards. Follow this link for instructions on setting up OFXDirectConnect in GnuCash 2.
Generally, the "Bank Code", "Bank Name", and "ORG" settings can be anything you like, and I usually set them to the FID. Userid and Username are also usually the same.
If your bank does not appear on the list, you can attempt to contact your bank (usually does not work). Or you can try google. When you do find the right settings, please add them to this page!

Auto-Download everything:
OFX DirectConnect information can also be auto-downloaded to your computer from a major accounting software provider's web archives by using the script found on this page:
Use the commands:
gzip -d getfidata.sh.gz
then
bash getfidata.sh
This will download, according to the above webpages, "thousands of XML files," however finding this information on the web is difficult at best.
