Use 'File Pattern' option in sequential file stage to read multiple files.

1. Use "File" property again & again( if file format is identical but not file names)
2. Use "File Pattern" property( if file names are having an identical pattern as well)

You can also try using an External Source Stage with a unix command to read the files ; handy if you need a bit more logic to determine which files to read e.g in cases where the file names are not in the same pattern.
