Quick Tip: Who is listening on given TCP port on MacOS?

For Big Sur and later:

sudo lsof -i -P | grep LISTEN | grep :$PORT

Where $PORT is the port you are looking for. Ex: 3306

Just a quick reference on how to make a directory writable by OSX integrated Apache web server.

1. Set the ownership of your desired directory/file to the _www user:

sudo chown -R _www:staff path/to/folder/

2. Set the permissions so that the _www can write in the directory/file without giving permissions to everyone else:

sudo chmod -R 755 path/to/folder

Happy coding 🙂
