.config directory

Hi guys , I'm trying to configure Openbox, and the configuration files have to go in a mysterious dir called ~/.config/ .
The problem with this directory is that it's not going to let me in it. So far, I've tried:
- sudo chown -Rv arch /home/arch/.config/
- sudo chmod -Rv 666 .config/
- various file managers with the superuser permissions
Each of these commands seem to work and all, but I still can't go in the directory!

What should I do?

Re: .config directory

To access a directory you need executable rights. So

 sudo chmod 777 /home/arch/.config/

should do the trick. Does the directory already exist?
