For human: Go there http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/archive/hg38/ncbiRefSeq/ and click on it.

Otherwise copy the link and run a wget in a terminal like this

wget http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/archive/hg38/ncbiRefSeq/hg38.2021-02-10.ncbiRefSeq.gtf.gz

I would suggest to download the file directly from Refseq raher than UCSC that will at some point mirror few files from there:
