Unfortunately, trying to pull a fast one on the WordPress media library with FTP won’t work. You’ll need to import them through the WP admin so they get added to the database, resized, and whatever other special sauce WP adds.
I’ve never used it, but this plugin sounds like it might be right up your alley.
