Hello, thank you for your message.
First of all, we have a step-by-step tutorial on how to attach files to issues, please feel free to check it here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/standalone/api-usecase-attach-files.html The process of attaching files to comments is very similar.
As to your code snippets:
1) You need to use a permanent token instead of Basic Auth. Here you can learn more about token authorization for using our REST API: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/youtrack/standalone/authentication-with-permanent-token.html
2) The URL /issues/{issueID}/attachments/{attachID} that you're using is for the files attached to an issue and not to a comment. If you need to attach files to comments, use this URL instead: /api/issues/{issueID}/comments/{commentID}/attachments
Note that here you don't need to paste the exact attachment ID at the end, but you do need to enter the comment ID. To get a comment ID, make a call to /api/issues/{issueID}/comments and identify the comment that you need to attach files to.
I hope this is helpful, please let me know if I can answer any further of your questions.
