The terminal command will look something like chmod 666 /dev/cu.usbserial-FTKVMAFF You must be root/admin to run the command. The results of this command will likely not survive removing the device and reinserting it. The results of this command definitely wont survive a reboot. Try vbox after this change, and see if it works. It should. Next step is to edit a config file to make sure that your changes survive device removal/insertion cycles and system restarts. How you do that exactly depends on your system and setup, I'll have to let you get help with that from someone else, as I've not done this part on a mac, so I'd be shooting in the dark with advice.
