I am trying to mount a folder on my amazon ec2 instance to my desktop folder using sshfs.
The problem is that I am not able to figure out how to give the option for private key (awskey.pem).
Normally I ssh using
ssh ec2-user@{amz-ip-address} -i {path to amzkey.pem}
But sshfs has no such options. However I saw a -F option and tried
sshfs ec2-user@{amz-ip-address}:{amz-folder} {my mount dir} -F {path to amzkey.pem}
This gave me an error
"read: Connection reset by peer"
Please let me know if anyone has tried this before.

To add or replace a key pairConnect to your instance using your existing private key. Using a text editor of your choice, open the . ssh/authorized_keys file on the instance. Paste the public key information from your new key pair underneath the existing public key information.
Open a new command prompt and run the following command replacing the fields as needed: scp -P 2222 Source-File-Path user-fqdn @localhost: To copy the entire directory instead of a file, use scp -r before the path. This recursively copies all of the directory's contents to the destination EC2 instance.
You can simply create a security group and then add an inbound rule to allow all traffic from it's own security group and then add these security group in both instances to share data with each other but there's an better approach for this is to use FSx in AWS.
From the documentation:
If you are using non-default key names and are passing it as
-i .ssh/my_key, this won't work. You have to use-o IdentityFile=/home/user/.ssh/my_key, with the full path to the key.

Here is the command for anyone trying this in future
sudo sshfs {username}@{ipaddress}:{remote folder path} {local folder path} -o IdentityFile={full path to the private key file} -o allow_other
