Comment (by azaozz):

 > you can't just copy them (plugins) to the plugins directory and have
 them register as being installed.

 If I understand it right, that would mean when you upload plugins to `wp-
 content/plugins` with FTP they don't show on the Plugins screen? Can't
 reproduce this. All plugins added to (or deleted from) the plugins
 directory show properly on the Plugins page in wp-admin. Perhaps when you
 copied them they ended up with (very) restrictive file permissions?
