Wells Fargo Bank changes

I have Wells Fargo accounts, but only do manual downloads.  They did, in
fact, just change the download backend.  No phishing going on here.

I would be very suspicious that this is phishing.  Do nothing unless you
have personally contacted Wells Fargo by telephone or secure internet
connection.

I used to use Quicken long ago before I discovered gnucash.  I use gnucash
to download transactions from a checking account at Wells Fargo Bank.  I am
a USA resident.  I do not use Wells Fargo for bill payment.  Recently, since
Wells Fargo probably still thinks I am using Quicken, I received the
following email.  I am currently using the setup I found at
http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings (Server URL:
https://www.oasis.cfree.com/3001.ofxgp, FID: 3001, ORG: Wells Fargo).

Customer support at Wells Fargo, like most financial institutions, have
never heard of gnucash and certainly do not support it.  The instructions on
their site basically say to remove Wells Fargo and add it back.  Quicken
will take care of setting everything up using the latest settings.

Does anyone know what changes I need to make in gnucash to continue to be
able to download transactions?
