You have two different issues:
1) -s and -S are two different things. Many commands on unix (and all of
Tinyfugue's for sure) are case-sensitive. The -S is 'synchronous' which
means it won't delay between sending each line of the file. Otherwise there
is a delay, and it will upload very slowly.
You really do want:

/quote -S ...

Note this is a upper-case S, not a lower-case.

2) It is unusual, but apparently your "Home Directory" is set to /, e.g.,
the root directory. This means with the tilde is replaced with your home
directory, you end up with //directoryname/filename.

However, two slashes at the beginning of a path has special meaning. The
operating system interprets the stuff after // as a computer-name. It so you
can have paths that look like this:

//computername/directory/file (or on windows, this is
\\computername\directory\file)

Try this command instead:

/quote -S '/fmglowmuf-1.0.2/cmd-register

I don't know if it is intentional, but in the text of your email you have
space between '/fmglowmuf-1.0.2/' and 'cmd-register'. You can't have a space
there, it would see that as being a separate parameter (e.g. you're telling
which filing drawer to look in, but not which file!). The entire path has to
be completely together: /fmglowmuf-1.0.2/cmd-register.

Most libraries have at least one book on Linux these days, if you have a
chance, I'd swing by the library and see if you can find one. Ideally one
specifically for your distribution (Ubuntu, right?), but if not, get
whatever they have available. I would spend some time reading it so you know
how to work files and the like on your linux machine.
