The Media Library only knows about files that have a record in the
posts table with post_type = 'attachment'. These records are created
when you upload a file via WordPress. Uploading via FTP, etc., has no
effect on the WordPress database.

We do not scan your upload directories and that is not now planned. I
would like to see a plugin do this.
