    Do you intend to retrieve the current config file from the switch or do you have a backup config you like to push to the switch?

     

    Be aware Netgear used a confusing logic for upload (from the switch to the computer) vs. download (from the computer to the switch) on this older switches.

        Suspected this. On this older Netgear switch Web UI you need to use the Upload (switch to computer) control.
