(I'm assuming the basics of Mac are the same as Linux.) If you are copying the files to a system directory (basically anywhere outside your Home directory), you'll need to use sudo in Terminal.
Alternatively (at least for the scenery), you can tell FlightGear to use scenery that are located elsewhere in addition to the included aircraft and scenery. To do this, when running FlightGear, for the fg-scenery parameter, append your scenery directory with a colon. For example, you would type fgfs --fg-scenery=<base_scenery_path>:<your_scenery_path>. Replace <base_scenery_path> with the path to the base scenery, and <your_scenery_path> with the path to your scenery. Note that the given folders must have the folders Airport, Objects, and/or Terrain.
