The best solution depends on whether you want it inaccessible or just not indexed.

You can upload a robots.txt file to your public_html directory and instruct search engines to not index the directory, but anyone with the link will still be able to view the contents. To be inaccessible, the protect directory plugin is your best bet.

Hi All,

We just found out that our private mailing lists archives are being indexed by google. As such anyone can read all of our messages without being a list member. I don't know how google was able to index the dada mail directory since there are no links to it anywhere on our site. But nonetheless I'd like to fix this. I know there is a 'directory password protection' plugin available, but is it better to somehow code a 'no index' meta tag into the pages? 

Thank You,
CJ
