Filemanager is independent of any WYSIWYG editor.  When I integrated it
with CKEditor, I changed just one file,
/public_html/editors/ckeditor/config.js.  It would be as easy to integrate
other file managers like KCFinder.

As I said above, it would be easy to make Filemanager work with FCKeditor.
 I will work on it.

Well, it is fairly easy to upgrade Filemanager.  I haven't changed any
code in any file of Filemanager.  I just created one PHP file from an HTML
file and changed one CKeditor configuration file.
