JOSM doesn't, so far as I know, upload raw GPS data. I do it via the web site. 
Login, then go to the "traces" tab and upload them there.

By the way, where did you look to find out how to do this? It would be good to 
change the web site to make this clearer, to help others who get stuck like 
you did.

Kind regards,
Tom
