No, OFX is a file format. Many financial/bank websites offer OFX or QFX
downloads of your transaction data; more in fact than offer OFX Direct Connect.
Since OFX (and it's slightly altered evil twin QFX, for Quicken Financial

Woops! No ill intent. I've seen the same response on other SIG's when someone
started a new thread that a groups member or admin thought should have been

Don't hijack threads, it's rude. Start a new one when you have a new question.
OFX Direct Connect is just like importing an OFX or QFX file downloaded from

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.

I suspect that you may be trying to use OFX Direct Connect, which requires
outside software
