Unable to Import Attachments Only

[iTaLiAnBoY165]

I have tested this and learn that you need to copy all the attachments from the source site to your server and then put the absolute path of that folder

Correct.

ImpEx needs attachments in a local folder that PHP has read access too.

I tried to put the full path to the new attachment folder
"/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/vb/attachments"
and the download window pops up asking to download "index.php" ??

If I shorten the path, then it runs but fails??

Do less attachments per page, if its passing the index.php page back, its crashing.

Please Jerry help me, i have the same problem, not import signatures and not import old_avatars/attachments, the patch to the folder is a really patch (/home/*user*/public_html/foro/) and not work for me.

You need to use the full path, you can get that from ssh'ing to the server and typing "pwd" in the dir with the attachments, or creating a php file with this in it and browsing to it :

<?
echo getcwd();
?>

The php file wrote the same patch I use.

echo getcwd();  
 
result string-> "/home/my_name_user_here/public_html/foro-pmr/avatars"
 
I use this patch but not work, the import script don´t locate the avatars.

You have to post your own thread with the relevant details so I know which system you're talking about at least :
