Robots.txt Question

i understand that the robots.txt file must be placed in the root directory,
i.e. www.yourdomain.com/robots.txt

and won't work if u place it in a sub directory,
i.e. www.yourdomain.com/subdirectory/robots.txt

------------------------------------------------

But I want my site to be indexed, i just have a sub directory that i use to host verious unrelated files that i do not want indexed.

How can I accomplish this?

thanks

 

nevermind i figured it out

 

You put the robots.txt file in your root directory. Then specify within that file which pages/folders you don't want indexed.

*EDIT*
Looks like you already figured it out. Glad to hear that.
