Download this plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/add-from-server/
Unzip it using 7-Zip
Upload the unzipped folder via FTP to your wordpress/wp-content/plugins folder
Make the folder and all sub-folder writable and executable by all
Make sure that you only have one sub-folder, so for example the plugin should be stored in wordpress/wp-content/plugins/add-from-server, NOT wordpress/wp-content/plugins/add-from-server/add-from-server
Go to your website's dashboard, plugins section. The "Add From Server" plugin should now be listed. Activate it.

Create a new folder for your media (on the server), for example wordpress/wp-content/media
Make sure that the folder above has read/write/execute rights for everyone
Upload your media (for example an image) via FTP to the folder above
Make sure that the file above has read permissions for everyone
Go to your dashboard, plugins section, and click on "Import files" under the "Add From Server" entry.
Select the folder created in step 1 (in our case media)
Select the file to be imported into your library (uploaded in step 3)
Press the import button

Now when browsing to Dashboard/Media, you should see your image listed.
