I wondered how to reveal and open a hidden folder in OS X. There are applications that will show and navigate hidden folders, for example
FolkLift. I know that the Finder can work with hidden folders once they have been made visible without the need for any other app. I knew that the folder I wanted was
/usr/bin/. I used this method to reveal the folder:
- In a browser (I used Google Chrome) enter web address of:
file:///usr/
- Drag the link to
bin/ onto the Desktop
- Double-click the file location icon
- Finder opens the
bin folder as a visible folder so that I can drag-and-drop files into it
