# robots.txt for www.SiteName
User-agent: *
Disallow:

The robots.txt above allows all robots to index all parts of your site, here is what you need to do if you want robots to leave some parts of your site alone. On the third like which says “Disallow:”  just add the folder you wish robots to leave a alone, lets say you cgi-bin folder, just add this:
/cgi-bin/

# robots.txt for www.SiteName
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
