Hi

The problem is i'm unable to find the way that permits to upload the engine

WinBoard 4.4? That is from 2008.

We are at 4.8.0 now already for a year (and on the brink of 4.9.0). And in these 8 years the variant support has been enorously improved. So most things that now work fully automatic would have to be achieved in 4.4 by tedious configuration by the user through auxiliary files for defining a position, participating pieces etc.

A few days ago I posted a zip file on my website that contains a very recent WinBoard version (WinBoard 4.9.pre0, as it were) plus Sjaak II 1.2RC1. It is configured to play 'Sac Chess', but if you change the 'variant' option in the accompanying winboard.ini file to 'musketeer', it would play that just as easily. So you'd better download that:
