how to prevent directory from being indexed?

[dan_popescu]

I just made a robots.txt file for my site. I've included a few files that I don't want indexed. How do I include an entire directory in robots.txt? I know the syntax for files is "disallow: file.htm". Is the syntax for an entire directory (and its content) the same: "disallow: directory"?

Thanks

Disallow: /directory/

and this should disallow specified bots from everything contained in that folder...
