Well, in theory, most legitimate bots are supposed to read the robots.txt file in your root folder, and skip any files (or folders) listed there.
I do it a bit more complicated. Besides using the robots.txt, I have a LInux-based router looking at actual content, so if I see any packet going by with the folder or file name I want hidden (and it is hidden), I automatically add the source IP to my blacklist and ban that IP in my frewall…they can read nothing anymore… Since whatever bot it was is acting “bad” , I don’t want it ever back again. Of course, I permit my own IP or a selected few IPs through first, so at least I can get to it.
Sorry that does not answer your question direct. It’s just I thought I’d explain my method of banning unwanted bots (the ones that dis-obey the robots.txt). It’s easy to set a trap directory that has nothing in it, and putting it into the robots.txt, then trapping it.

To protect your site from search engines you can simply use a robots.txt file, its a txt file you put in your document root with a list of directories on your website you do not want web spiders to crawl. To password protect your websites look at using a .htaccess file
