This note was taken on Drupal-5.7, fckeditor-5.x-2.1 (module), fckeditor-2.5.1, and ckfinder-1.1.

1. Locate the file named settings.php inside your drupal directory (usually sites/default/settings.php) and set $cookie_domain variable to the appropiate domain (remember to uncomment that line). If you do not do this, FCKeditor will claim that file browser is disabled.
2. Download ckfinder and put it inside the directory of fckeditor module, after which you will see something like below:

   % ls
   CHANGELOG.txt             fckeditor.info          filemanager.config.php
   ckfinder                          fckeditor.install      img_assist_fckeditor.js
   ckfinder_php_1.1.tar.gz  fckeditor.module     LICENSE.txt
   fckeditor                         plugins                   FCKeditor_2.5.1.tar.gz
   fckeditor.popup.html      po                           fckeditor.config.js     
   fckeditor.popup.js           fckeditor.css            fckeditor.utils.js     
   README.txt

3. Edit the fckconfig.js file in the FCKeditor directory and modify the following settings:

   FCKConfig.LinkBrowserURL = '/ckfinder/ckfinder.html' ;
   FCKConfig.ImageBrowserURL = '/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?type=Images' ;
   FCKConfig.FlashBrowserURL = '/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?type=Flash' ;
   FCKConfig.LinkUploadURL = '/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Files' ;
   FCKConfig.ImageUploadURL = '/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Images' ;
   FCKConfig.FlashUploadURL = '/ckfinder/core/connector/php/connector.php?command=QuickUpload&type=Flash' ;

4. Edit fckconfig.modulefckeditor.module, and replace the lines

   if ($advanced_uploads) {
       $element['#suffix'] .= $js_id .".Config['LinkBrowserURL'] = \"". $module_full_path ."/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Connector=". $connector_path ."&ServerPath=". $files_path ."\";
     ". $js_id .".Config['ImageBrowserURL'] = \"". $module_full_path ."/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Image&Connector=". $connector_path ."&ServerPath=". $files_path ."\";
     ". $js_id .".Config['FlashBrowserURL'] = \"". $module_full_path ."/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/default/browser.html?Type=Flash&Connector=". $connector_path ."&ServerPath=". $files_path ."\";\n";
   }
   
   with the following:

   if ($advanced_uploads) {
     $element['#suffix'] .= $js_id.".Config['LinkBrowserURL'] = '".$module_full_path."/ckfinder/ckfinder.html';
           ".$js_id.".Config['ImageBrowserURL'] = '".$module_full_path."/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?type=Images';
           ".$js_id.".Config['FlashBrowserURL'] = '".$module_full_path."/ckfinder/ckfinder.html?type=Flash';\n";
   }

5. Open file ckfinder/config.php, and replace the empty function CheckAuthentication() with the following code:

    function CheckAuthentication()
   {
     static $authenticated;

     if (!isset($authenticated)) {
       $drupal_path = "../../../";
       if(!file_exists($drupal_path . "/includes/bootstrap.inc")) {
         $drupal_path = "../..";
         do {
           $drupal_path .= "/..";
           $depth = substr_count($drupal_path, "..");
         }
         while(!($bootstrapFileFound = file_exists($drupal_path . "/includes/bootstrap.inc")) && $depth<10);
       }
       if (!isset($bootstrapFileFound) || $bootstrapFileFound) {
         $cwd = getcwd();
         chdir($drupal_path);
         require_once "./includes/bootstrap.inc";
         drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
         $authenticated = user_access("allow fckeditor file uploads");
         chdir($cwd);
       }
     }

     return $authenticated;
   }
   $Config['Enabled'] = CheckAuthentication();

   Please note that you must call this function right after declaration, otherwise the "session_start()" function call inside bootstrap.inc will cause error.
