DesignersTalk - View Single Post - setting the "execute permissions" for an expression engine folder on os x?

Hi All,

I am studying Expression Engine and working on a local weblog on my Mac. In order to have the template files that EE uses written as files, which I can then edit using Textmate, I read I need to create a folder and set its permissions to 777, which I think it means read, write, execute.
I don't know how to do this via the terminal (I need to navigate to the users/myusername folder and don't know how to do it in Terminal), any tips on how to set these permissions? I already gave this folder read/write priviledges and assigned it to the www group, as all the EE files in my Sites folder.
Thank you.
