Folder.Contents or Folder.Files is not supported for ftp sources. However, you can connect to a single file through ftp source which you have been doing.
The only way out is to get the files down to a folder on a local machin/network machine/Onedrive/Sharepoint etc.
You will have to constantly query ftp to locate the change/new files and download them. Consult thread where Microsoft Flow has been used for this purpose - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/connection-with-ftp/td-p/91792
But if this is a once or twice a day sort of operation, just download the files and use the downloaded files through Folder connectors.
