It's a text file in your root directory. See the google's robots.txt http://www.google.com/robots.txt

Hi foster29...

For upload robots.txt file, put in your Root folder, it's usually has named public_html or www folder

and for upload xml, i recommend you use XMap extension :

For send it into Google Webmaster, see http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p ... 4#p1590394

Hope this helps :)
