Ant does "not go into" a folder. It scans them. You could define a <fileset> which returns only the paths to these files:
<fileset dir="." includes="**/certain.file"/> Here the wildcard "**" is interesting: every subdirectory including recursive. If you only want the directories directly under "." choose the "*" wildcard.
