Yes, you need the "whole" project, not just the AUP file - you need the "_data" folder as well, and your friend needs to ensure that there are no external dependencies.
Assuming that you are both using the current 2.0.6 version of Audacity (available here if you don't have that version: http://audacityteam.org/download/) see here in the manual for instructions how to send a project: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/au ... .html#move
