What if I put same robots.txt file in multiple directories and folders?
User-agent: *
Disallow: /otherdirname/dirname2/
Can it'll affect anyhow ??
And how much time it generally takes to refine the search engine results?
Regards

If you add robot text, then search engine can't crawl that pages as you disallow those pages.
First: it's useless to put a robots.txt file anywhere else than the website roots. Web crawler ONLY check at this places: www.yourwebsite.com/robots.txt
Your example tell to EVERY web crawler (of course, only "legal" one, bad robots don't care) to not index /otherdirname/dirname2/. It's NOT disalowing to crawl /otherdirname.
You might need MANY Disallow command to reflect your needs.
Please see the "official" web site for help: www.robotstxt.org/
