Here's a basic "robots.txt":

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

you may not want Google to crawl the /images directory of your site, as it's both meaningless to you and a waste of your site's bandwidth. "Robots.txt" lets you tell Google just that.

We can restrict the personal information from the search engine by using robots.txt & we can hide the file or folder by using this file.

The use of robot.txt can help you shape bot-traffic. Spiders will crawl all your files if you don’t instruct them. Depending on your technical skills, there are two ways to generate a sitemap. You can either download or install a sitemap generator, or you can use an online sitemap generation tool.
