This can be accomplished, for apache, by removing any instances of:
`Options Indexes' within your httpd.conf file.
The files within the directory will still exist and be publically available, but will not be indexed by search engines, robot.txt or not.
In this case an attacker would have to know the location/name of the file instead of browsing the directories.
Although, security via obfustication is still not secure.
