Is it possible to configure CKFinder as just a file browser without any upload functionality?

I want to be able to click on the image icon in CKEditor and be able to browser the local file system. I would like the chosen file to be passed to the editor just like the standard URL is. I want to use the base64image plugin to embed the image inline.

I have tried using CKFinder but, when I click the Browse Server button in the Image Properties dialog, I get an empty window with just 'run();' in the centre.

To enable CKFinder in read-only (gallery) mode, set the readOnly configuration option to true and pass it as a configruation option to the CKFinder.setupCKEditor function:

CKFinder.setupCKEditor( editor, {
    readOnly: true
} );

This will disable the possibility to modify anything.

If you only want to disable uploads, you can disable modules related to upload operations:

CKFinder.setupCKEditor( editor, {
    removeModules: 'FormUpload,Html5Upload,UploadFileButton'
} );

The second thing is to change Access Control settings in the server side connector by setting 'FILE_CREATE' to false so the uploads will be disabled also on the server side.
