The robots.txt file can be used to restrict access to certain areas of your website, such as directories or files. This can be useful for preventing search engines from indexing certain pages, or for preventing access to sensitive areas of your website. You can also use the robots.txt file to specify the location of your sitemap.

It is important to note that the robots.txt file is not a security measure. The robots.txt file is only a way of telling search engine robots what pages they should or should not index. If a malicious user knows the exact URL of a file or directory, they can still access it, even if it is listed in the robots.txt file.
