Why a symlink?

This is a known bug in Quanta 3.3. There is a workaround that did help others 
and you may try it:
type the complete path in the field main directory. Instead of 
home/webmaster/newsite use  sftp://webmaster@server/home/webmaster/newsite 
and do the same for the template and toolbars directory.

Since you have absolute paths in your project file now you can not copy them 
to another location anymore.

Simply open this project:
sftp://webmaster@server/home/webmaster/newsite/project.webprj
