Hi
I have set up a separate folder called dev , where I work on development files,before moving them to production.
I call it dev.sitename.com
How can i make sure, that google or other web search spiders do not access pages,images in the dev folder under public_html.
Can someone suggest a simple efficient way to continue development, without exposing my development pages to search spiders.
Kindly help.
Thanks
Prakash

I would password protect the directory. Not all robots respect a robot.txt file.
Alternatively, you ought to know that search robots go through web pages. They traverse links that exist on the pages of your site, If you don't submit dev.sitename.com and don't provide links into the directory, it's pretty unlikely that they'll end up there.

Thanks a lot. I password protected the directory.
It seemed like the simple straight forward way, and i am not submitting the dev url for search.
I have a auth.net question , posting it as a separate thread.
