I followed all of the steps from the "delete the fake ticket" thread. I was able to locate the ticket using the keys.txt file. I opened up the ticket in HxD and removed the bad ticket which then brought the file size down to 696 bytes. Then I downloaded the correct FTPiieverywhere and added it to the sd card and brought up the homebrew channel via the web exploit. Once I accessed FTPiieverywhere the gamepad informed me that is was listening to my ip address xxx.xxx.x.x and then I used both filezilla and winscp to access storage_slc. Each and every time I attempted to get to
storage_slc/rights/tickets/apps I kept getting the error message "failed to retrieve directory listing" I worked through a number of workarounds like changing it from active to passive, etc. but was unable to continue as it was getting late. I will continue to work through this particular issue tonight but if anyone here has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks again for all of your help!
