<p>Yes, after uploading via FTP, you will need to tell Craft to go and index the new assets: <strong>Settings</strong> > <strong>Tools</strong> > <strong>Update Asset Indexes</strong></p>

I just noticed you can drag them all in in batch which is nice. That should work. But I also have a case of a large file that wont seem to upload it just hangs...

you can set the upload limit in your general config file. If your image keeps hanging it's most likely that you have to adjust your upload limit there.

<p>Is it possible to upload assets into the folders listed in the asset section on the server manually/directly? And then "sync up" the system so the ui sees these?</p>

<p>Used to be able to do this in expression engine via a sync button and i don't see how to do that here, but perhaps im missing the trick?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
