While my txp install was running fine after I transitioned from my development server to my production server, I forgot one teeny detail that broke the file upload/download/mgmt features and caused txp to not be able to find the /tmp/ folder.
This page fixed it right up.

Also note you need to change the site URL in the preferences from your dev server to production as well. e.g. mevans76.dev gets changed to mevans76.com in Admin > Preferences > Basic.
And in Admin > Preferences > Advanced change the file directory path and the image directory paths as well. That should take care of a TXP migration.
