It's difficult to answer this because it's so old. Our current version of 
Quanta is 3.5, though you need KDE 3.4 to use it, but that's academic as this 
would theoretically be a KDE library problem... in a perfect world, because 
in either 3.2 or 3.3 we fixed a lot of internal code that used strings 
instead of URLs. If it works in Konqueror then in theory it should work in 
Quanta, and I'm sure it does... but I'm not 100% certain it works in the 
version you have. I think it should, but we did have a problem with protocols 
and remote projects long ago. You should be able to use 
ftp://user@domain/path in the file dialogs of Quanta no problem. As for the 
rest, I know Debian likes to be insanely conservative, which is great for 
servers (I use it on the server) but paradoxically desktop development is 
different. You may want to upgrade using an "unstable" branch. Paradoxically 
it will still have older releases that have more bugs fixed along with more 
functionality than ancient releases. We no longer support two major point 
versions back. We just don't have the resources and honestly can't remember 
precisely when we did what several years back.
