Avoid indexing

[enricocerica]

Hi,

Is there a way to avoid the indexing robots to index a public download link and avoid to find it for instance via google.

Thanks

Hi, you can add the files behind the public_html and of course you can use robots.txt for this (just see the guides for robots on Joomla! or Google sites)

Well, the files are not indexed as they are in a directory excluded for indexing in the robot.txt file.
The problem is that the phocadownload links are indexed and I would like to avoid this, I tried adding the phoca url in the robot.txt file but it doesn't seem to work.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks

Hi, in case the links are indexed, then you can just set that the files are only for registered - then the links will end with login.
