In your job submit file, set request_cpus and request_memory.  This tells HTCondor 
how many resources to allocate on a server for you job, and the remaining resources
on the server can go to other jobs.

Or perhaps you want to know how and administer of a server in a HTCondor cluster
can reserve resources on a server to only run specific types of jobs?  Is so see:

Just list the name of the folder (subdirectory) in your transfer_input_files, which will move
the directory and its contents into the scratch working directory on the execute node.
If you just want the contents of the folder, put a trailing slash on the name of 
the subdirectory name. 

Details and examples are in the manual at
  
  http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/manual/current/SubmittingaJob.html#x17-380002.5.9
 
Also see the condor_submit man page ("man condor_submit"), also available online at
  http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/manual/current/Condorsubmit.html
You want to looks at transfer_input_files.

Hope the above helps,
Todd
