Hi versatiletech,
Welcome to the community! :)
On the web-GUI of the GS108T switch, when you go to Maintenance > Upload > File Upload, on the File Type field, select Text Configuration. Kindly read pages 7-4 to 7-5 of the GS108Tv2 user manual here as reference.

Thanks,
I had done the same. But There is another option with transfer mode. Only option highlighted was TFTP. I'm attaching the reference screenshot.

Hi versatiletech,
I understand that TFTP is the only option. You will need to setup a TFTP server on your PC for you to download the text configuration file. Kindly browse the links below that I have found online on how to setup a TFTP server:
How to setup a TFTP Server using tftpd32 in Windows
Setting up your local machine as a TFTP server
You may want also to check on YouTube for video turorials on how to setup a TFTP server.
