Robot.txt : How to block a specific file type in several subdirectories ?

[LabeliumUSA]

Hello everyone !

I need help setting up a robot.txt.

I'm trying to block all pdf files in particular directories so I'm using this command. In the example below the line is blocking all .gif in the entire site.

Block files of a specific file type (for example, .gif) | Disallow: /*.gif$

2 questions :

• Can I use this command to specify one particular directory in which I want to block pdf files ? Will this line be recognized by googlebots ?

Disallow: /fileadmin/xxxxxxx/xxx/xxxxxxx/*.pdf$

• Then I realized that I would have to write as many lines as many directories there are in which I want to block pdf files.

Let's say I want to block pdf files in all these 3 directories

/fileadmin/directory1

/fileadmin/directory1/sub1

/fileadmin/directory1/sub1/pdf

Is there a pattern-matching rule I could use to blocks access to pdf files in all subdirectories instead of writing 3x the above line for each subdirectory ? For exemple :

Disallow: /fileadmin/directory1*/

Many thanks in advance for any insight you may have.

Use this code -
Disallow: /*.f$
If you want to block only one folder then use this -
Disallow: /folder1/.*f$
This rule will help to block both files only .pdf and .gif
