Hello,

Thank you for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

This situation usually happens when there’s a problem with the file’s permissions or location on the server.

Your hosting provider may be blocking Googlebot, or there may be a problem with the configuration of their firewall.

Please contact your hosting provider for assistance. They should be able to help you resolve the issue and grant the necessary permissions to the robots.txt file so that search engines can crawl your website.

You can also refer to this article here by Google regarding that issue:

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.
