Follow the below steps-
1. Create the mapping as if there is only single source and target.
2. Now create an additional file on the server which will list the multiple source file names along with their paths.
3. Specify the path and name of this file in the "Source File" under session properties. 
4. Now the most important thing - Set "Source Filetype" as "indirect" under session properties.

What if there are n source files(number may vary) with the same structure? File name maybe similar for e.g. TxtFile_1,TxtFile_2,TxtFile_3...........TxtFile_n
