Is it possible to place a robots.txt/no index before uploading a file?

[MarlonH]

I don't want my pages (pfd files) to be found in Google. Is it possible to place a robots.txt/noindex before uploading a file? Thanks!

Manually? Sure. Just not automatically.

Can you please explain to me how to do this manually? We do not work with Filezilla that often. It's probably really easy but yet unkown

Just manually upload the robots.txt before you manually upload that other file.

Example robots.txt contents:

Code: Select all

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /

This example globally denies all search engines. Note that not all such services actually use the robots.txt. They aren't forced to obey it.

For hard-disabling directory listings, use a directory directive or a .htaccess file.
