Stop a SE from spidering my site

[Paullas]

Does anyone know the full Apache syntax i add in my .htaccess to stop all the SE's from spidering my site. I want it to be full search engine blocked.

create a robots.txt file in your root directory with..

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

That would block all SE's that read and follow the robots.txt

Not all bots do but that would work for the main ones.
