How to Install SSHFS for File Sharing

Machine A: 192.168.1.101
Machine B: 192.168.1.102

Run the following commands on both machines respectively:
mkdir -p /xvdb/elasticsearch/backup
chmod -R 777 /xvdb/elasticsearch/backup

(This example uses Machine A to mount the /xvdb/elasticsearch/backup folder from Machine B)
On Machine A:
yum -y install sshfs

sshfs -p 47591 [email protected]:/xvdb/elasticsearch/backup /xvdb/elasticsearch/backup -o allow_other  
# Enter the password when prompted; the -p flag specifies the port number

Test:
On Machine B:  touch /xvdb/elasticsearch/backup/j   # Create file j
On Machine A: ls -lh /xvdb/elasticsearch/backup/j     # If the file exists, the shared mount is successful
