[UPDATE 2013]
I can’t find an authoritative page with a format for robots.txt file for WordPress. I promise to maintain one on my site but I want one here on stack overflow.
If you know what your doing please check current draft here:
Everyone else comment on this:
robots.txt
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins/
Disallow: /wp-content/cache/
Disallow: /wp-content/themes/
Disallow: /trackback/
Disallow: /feed/

I think this code is very authentic for robots.txt file, Just go to Public_HTML and create file with robots.txt and paste above code.
You can make in your Notepad, just copy above code and paste into notpad but remember file name should robots.txt and upload to your public_HTML.
As with all things SEO, things change. I think that the current advice is to have a a very minimal robots.txt file.
Ignoring wp-admin, wp-includes, wp-content, etc. may prevent Google from rendering pages correctly, which it doesn’t like.

Create in notepad robots.txt and upload it to public_html in CPANEL .
*remember rename your file notepad to robots before you upload it to public_html
It’s not safe to block much in your
robots.txtnowadays single Google tries to load all assets to determine “mobile friendliness.” At minimum you can block /wp-admin. Here’s a more detailed, current answer to the question at the StackExchange forum for WordPress.
