I have been using nmap to scan an IP address, and one part of the output is:

| http-robots.txt: 1 disallowed entry

What does this mean?

| http-robots.txt: 1 disallowed entry

It is an entry in the robots.txt file of the form Disallow: X. This means that at least some User-Agent has been instructed not to request these URIs. A list of them should be listed below the line you showed. You can read more about the robots.txt standard and format on robotstxt.org.
