Seeing how it doesn't seem to be documented in the node's Help, this would be a good question/request to ask the node's author on the GitHub page.

Did you look at the Readme and the Help tab in the editor when clicking on the node?

If so, what has you confused?

Where did the `function` node come from? It isn't in your original flow....  
If you want all the files, why not change the function node to return a msg for each file?

to see how to send multiple msgs take a read of [Writing Functions : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/writing-functions)
