Use crawling hints

Do you want scans to crawl links and directories found in the Robots.txt files?

Robots.txt is a convention to prevent cooperating web spiders and other web robots from accessing all or part of a web site that is otherwise publicly viewable. If selected your options are:

Crawl all links and directories found in the robots.txt file, if present.

Do not crawl links or directories that are excluded from the robots.txt file. Select to fully adhere to the robots.txt file, if present in these web applications. Links and directories that are not included in the robots.txt file will not be crawled.

Sitemap.xml is an XML file that lists a site's URLs to inform search engines about URLs that are available for crawling.
