You put the files wherever you want that is accessible from the machine doing the import and put that path here:

```
  ATTACHMENT_DIR = '/tmp/attachments'

```

If you’re running inside a docker container, and put it under `var/discourse/shared/standalone/tmp/attachments` then you’d use `/shared/tmp/attachments` for the path. You can check by looking for the files when you’re inside the container.
