They should have the URLs /sitemap.xml and /robots.txt. How you configure your server to make that happen will depend on your server.

Typically you just place them in the root directory (this may or may not be the same as the directory you place .htaccess in, but often will be if you are setting configuration directives site wide) and let them be served as static files.

If you have mod_rewrite directives (as is quite common to map "friendly URLs" on to PHP based CMSs) then you may have to alter them so that those URLs don't get rerouted to the PHP program.
