Cannot Download Config for GS728TP

I am unable to download the config file for our GS728TP switches. I have tried on multiple computers and multiple browsers. Every time, I get an error on the download file "network error".  I am connected to the switch so it is clearly not a network error.  

 

I understand to do this, you go to Maintanance>Upload>Select HTTP File Upload > Select Text Configuration> Then hit Apply. 

 

I have searched the forums and Googled like crazy and still have the issue. 

Please help!

    Hunyb4evr,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    Let us try to use Incognito Mode in Google Chrome.  Then, login again to the web-GUI of your GS728TP and go to Maintenance > Upload > HTTP File Upload then try to download the config file again.

     

     

    Reagrds,

      Thanks for the reply!  I tried it in incognito mode and the download still failed.  :(

        Hunyb4evr,

         

        Let us try the steps below:

         

        1. Disconnect the GS728TP from your existing network.  If the GS728TP is set as DHCP client, it should go back to its default IP address which 192.168.0.239.

        2. Connect a PC directly to the GS728TP.  You will need to set a static IP Address like 192.168.0.210 to access the switch. 

        3. Access the web-GUI and try again to download the config file. 

         

        What is the current firmware version of the GS728TP?  

         

         

        Regards,
