<target name="compile" description="">
        <copy todir="${build.dir}">                                          
            <fileset dir="${source.dir}"/>
        </copy>
    </target>

means:

source/
  1.html
  2.html
  html/
   3.html
   4.html

build/
  1.html
  2.html
  html/
   3.html
   4.html

I want the following

source/
  1.html
  2.html
  html/
   3.html
   4.html

If you want to manipulate the file names as you copy, copy you need a mapper

    <copy todir="${build.dir}">                                          
        <fileset dir="${source.dir}"/>
        <flattenmapper/>
    </copy>

Use Ant Move Tag

Here is an example.. 

<move file="file.orig" todir="dir/to/move/to"/>

For multiple files ... 

  <move todir="some/new/dir">
    <filelist dir="my/src/dir">
      <file name="file1.txt"/>
      <file name="file2.txt"/>
    </filelist>
  </move>
