You can use the zippy password command to send command directly to your engine
using the ICS tell command.

ex: "tell Movei YOUR_PASSWORD go" will make winboard send "go" to the remote
engine.

This is the zippy' readme paragraphe about it:

-zippyPassword string
If someone does an ICS "tell" to xboard that begins with this
password, it will type the same string back as a command with
the password stripped off.  For example, if the password is
!%%! and xboard sees the string "Darooha tells you: !%%!shout
Hi there", it will type the command "shout Hi there" to the
ICS.  This feature is disabled if the option is not set.
