Hi

The robots.txt file is a text file to limit outstanding bots (robots, search engine crawlers) on a website from a website or some page on the website. Using a robots.txt file and with the denial direction, we can restrict booting or search engine crawling programs from websites or certain folders and files.

Hope it helps you.

The robots exclusion standard, also known as the robots exclusion protocol or simply robots.txt, is a standard used by websites to communicate with web crawlers and other web robots. The standard specifies how to inform the web robot about which areas of the website should not be processed or scanned.

Robots.txt is a text (not html) file you put on your site to tell search robots which pages you would like them not to visit. Robots.txt is by no means mandatory for search engines but generally search engines obey what they are asked not to do. It is important to clarify that robots.txt is not a way from preventing search engines from crawling your site (i.e. it is not a firewall, or a kind of password protection) and the fact that you put a robots.txt file is something like putting a note "Please, do not enter" on an unlocked door – e.g. you cannot prevent thieves from coming in but the good guys will not open to door and enter. That is why we say that if you have really sen   sitive data, it is too naïve to rely on robots.txt to protect it from being indexed and displayed in search results.
