There is a manual for each plug-in stage type.
I note that you are on release 6, so you'll need to look in the Packages folder on your DataStage CD to find the FTP plug-in stage. In a folder called Docs you should find ftp.pdf, which is the manual that explains how to use the stage.
The FTP stage does not wait for your files to arrive; it goes and gets them!
If you want to wait for files to arrive use a Job Sequence and a WaitForFile Activity. Or you can create a before/after subroutine or job control routine that waits for the file to appear before allowing processing to continue. Don't forget to program a timeout.
