I'm not sure which part of whose instructions told you this, but if the
directory is called "members" then "pico members" is not what you want to
do.  "pico" is a text editor for editing files.  You cannot edit
directories.

You probably wanted to go to the directory members by doing "cd
/home/sites/siteXY/web/members" and then do "pico .htaccess" to open the
.htaccess file (step 2 of the instructions you posted) and then "control-o"
to save the file.

You can have one .htaccess file per directory if you like.

Re-read the instructions and try them again.
