The best way to do this is to connect to Project Server with Project 
Professional and choose Tools > Enterprise Options > Import Project to 
Enterprise
Follow the steps in the wizard.

Gary is quite right, though my preferred method is just to open it whilst 
connected to Project Server (via the Open/file dialogue) and then Save As...  
It saves it to the server and takes you through the same checks as the 
wizard, but I've found this method quicker and I can script it in VBA for 
migrations/bulk upload!

If you are a very skilled project server users, the task error checking in 
the wizard is certainly less important, and if you don't have task-level 
fields to map onto the enterprise, or calendar issues, then you can skip 
this convenience as well. Otherwise, the import wizard can spare you lots of 
trouble, even it is a slower, more methodical approach.
