https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/importing-data-from-csv-802592885.html - at present states that when importing attachments via HTTP or HTTPS - the attachments must be accessible by the target JIRA:
URLs for attachments support the HTTP and HTTPS protocols and can be any location that your Jira server must be able to access. You can also use the FILE protocol to access files in the import/attachments subdirectory of your Jira home directory.
This feature request is to expand the section to include something like:
A good way to verify that the attachments are accessible would be to use a wget or CURL command from the target JIRA console to see if the attachments can be accessed.
If attachments are being imported from another JIRA instance via HTTP or HTTPs protocol, anonymous access can be set *temporarily* on the source JIRA instance so that the target JIRA instance can access the attachments at the time of importing the issues from the CSV file. Once imported, anonymous access can be disabled.
