Hi all!

Can someone let me know the settings to sync Omnifocus with iPhone using Webdav and A2 hosting. Sorry, being really stupid!!

Thanks!!

If A2 is setup like Bluehost (another cPanel-based service), then you'll need to set up a web disk user in your cPanel interface. You'll need to use the non-SSL URL for the web disk, which is port 2077:

http://yourhost.com:2077

When OF prompts for the username/password, use the values you setup for the web disk user. Should work fine.

Also make sure you have the 1.0.1 version of OmniFocus for the iPhone. Apple just made it available in the last day or so.

Note that as of OmniFocus for iPhone 1.01, https: should work as well (you can now ignore a "bad" certificate.)

I just downloaded the new iOF and got bi-directional sync (i.e., including OFX) to work using cPanel as described in this thread, using http://mydomain.com:2077/

After reading this thread, I then tried https://mydomain.com:2078/ which also seems to work fine. I just wanted to verify that I should indeed be using not only https but also :2078.
