creating robots.txt - Priykant.chavda - 08-13-2017
Hello all.
I'm Newbie in CI. I don't know how to create robots.txt
should I block controllers or views so that any bot can not index sensitive page.. Like should I use application/controllers/admin to block access to admin controller..
Please help.

Google search is your friend...

A robots.txt is just a file you can create with any text editor, it will only advise a search engine what to index and what not (note that not all crawlers will listen to your set guidelines). It's not a security measure to prevent someone from accessing a url in your project. A .htaccess file can limit that if you will.

The folders you mention in your post should not be in yourt public_html folder at all.
No need to add them to the robots.
application and system folder should allways be placed above public_html.
Just change the index.php to
$application_folder = '../application';
$system_path = '../system';
