How to fix "Failed to import media" wordpress?

I have 2 projects in wordpress one is in production and the second is locally, now I want to import some media xml from production into locally project. I exported via Tools > export from wp-admin (production) some media sorted by period (2 months) and I try to import in my locally wordpress but I get error "Failed to import Media". I run locally wordpress and database via docker but my theme I maped from local. I tried to import posts and it’s work fine, but with media I have problems.

    Look at this other post, you will need to download them via ftp.

    OR, look for an export plugin that adds the media attachements into a zip file.

    I’m not sure about how many items we are talking, but here are some suggestions:

    1. Use this plugin: https://nl.wordpress.org/plugins/doubly/
    2. Like @Eloi said, download them via FTP and bulk-upload them via the WordPress media library.
    3. Check if your current gallery plugin (if applicable) has a feature or API to import/export media.

    Good luck!
