I am using IMCE to upload image files from the server into CKEDITOR. I am using Drupal 6.22. The images are stored in mysite/public_html/drupal/sites/default/files. This is a site that I am developing, it is not live. In the navigation panel, on the left I can see the directory with my images. In the top centre, I can see the list of image files. When I click on a file name, I do not get a screenshot in the lower section of the panel. drupal.org/node/745544 shows the screenshot of the dog in the lower section of the panel. I my case, I only see the file name and not the screenshot. The screenshot outline flashes very briefly before the file name appears. It is probably a configuration problem but I have not found a solution on the Drupal website.

I should have added, that the image file does not upload to CKEDITOR. In the CKEDITOR Browse server panel, I get the correct URL, but does not show in the preview panel. All I get is a red square with a white X in it.

Folder permissions was the problem. I set the files folder in sites/all/default/files to 777 and the problem is corrected.

I found a Drupal module take_control that is very user friendly for working with file permissions.
