I have a directory that I need to use to launch my OpenVPN client in my Mac. It is copied from my Raspberry Pi server through SSH protocol with my root user in Terminal with SCP. However, I need the files inside the directory to be accessed through my standard permissions user account. In Terminal, I ran:
chmod -R 777 /vpn/directory

The folder can't be opened because you do not have permission to see it's contents.
What do I do?
