I have 2 Raspberry 3 with OSMC, I would connect through SFTP the first raspberry for access to second raspberry files. At the moment I use smartphone app for access remotely (external my home) to RPi files or FileZilla on my PC.
Regards.
Add it as a source in the file manager and then it will be available to add it to your library.

I have added on Setting->file manager of osmc the following link but not working:
sftp://user:password@ExternalLinkToRaspberryDDNS:PortExternal/directory/directory1/
after adding the osmc file manager link delete user: password@ and the link becomes:
sftp://ExternalLinkToRaspberryDDNS:PortExternal/directory/directory1/
but does not work.
What could I try to do?
Thanks.

Have you tried connecting from the command line to see if sftp server is available?
Where is the directory on the server Pi? Is it in /home/osmc?
And if you have the SSH port opened on your network, I hope that you did change the default osmc password.
Yes I have change my osmc and root password in my first and second raspberry.
Through pc with VideoLAN (vlc) I connect correctly to my first raspberry and I use the following
sftp://user:password@ExternalLinkToRaspberryDDNS:PortExternal/directory/directory1/video.avi
I think I see the problem. You changed the ssh port (like recommended) away from 22.
You could try this:
sftp://user:password@ExternalLinkToRaspberryDDNS:PortExternal:/directory/directory1/
Notice the extra : after PortExternal
If that does not work, you could use fstab and sshfs. An fstab line would look something like this:
user@ip.of.my.server:directory fuse.sshfs x-systemd.automount,noauto,rw,user,transform_symlinks,user=<username>,pass=<password>,port=<portonserver>,allow_other,default_permissions,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0
I haven’t played with this at all, so I have no idea if it will really work.
