There are no pre-formatted blastp databases available for human genome from the FTP site above.

But you can easily make one yourself by downloading the protein file here: https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/refseq/vertebrate_mammalian/Homo_sapiens/latest_assembly_versions/GCF_000001405.40_GRCh38.p14/GCF_000001405.40_GRCh38.p14_protein.faa.gz
