Hello Madonna,
Firstly make sure that  _ _manifest__.py file should be present inside your custom module.
for example your module name is ABC then __manifest__.py should be present inside ABC directory.
Second after placing the module; you need to enable the developer mode; then inside apps menu you will get an option "Update App List". click on this option to show your module in app list.

Also make sure __init__.py also present inside your module
because __manifest__.py

Hi,
Make sure that not only the *__manifest__.py* but the entire custom module is moved to filezilla. And ensure that your custom add-on path is specified in the .conf file.
Your module should be in a correct structure including the *__init__.py* file. After restarting the service try to *update the app* list from Apps.
