No matter what I set my IMCE profile directory to be, it does not display any files. Normally I'd have the directory path be "sites/default/files", which contains a bunch of 777 files. None of these are visible within IMCE, and no matter what I set the directory to, IMCE always displays it as empty.

Curiously enough, I can't upload files either. The upload always hangs. When I refresh, it shows the file as existing in the directory, but clicking on it gives me a question mark image, and looking at the FTP folder, the file isn't *really* there.

You set the main directory in file system settings, which is independent of an IMCE profile.
In an IMCE profile you set paths relative to the main directory.

Thanks, I was able to solve the problem with your advice.

For one, Drupal was set to use the private file system by default, so I had to change that to public in my file system settings. For two, I specified "sites/default/files" in both my file system settings and in IMCE, so in IMCE I changed it to "."

Lastly, and I'm not sure if this was necessary, I unchecked the "disable serving of private files" box in IMCE. Now it performs as expected.
