As Niko said, an application can not crash your window manager/desktop 
environment - it sounds like a bug with that...

The reason Konqueror is suggested is because KDE applications all use 
KIO slaves to do work with files, this way we can be transparently 
working over ftp, sftp, ssh (fish), http, or local files, without the 
application having to write its own protocol handler.  If ftp works in 
Konqueror, and not in Quanta, then there is something wrong with the way 
Quanta is handling the kio slave, else if they both crash, then it would 
be a bug with the kio slave.  You could try Kate or kwrite or any other 
kde application that supports your protocol, just to test this 
functionality.
And Konqueror is a most excellent advanced file manager that can work on 
remote files just as well as local, not just a browser...

To check if it is a problem with a config file, you could try to rename 
the quanta config file from ~/.kde/share/config/quantarc - it contains 
all the settings changes for quanta.  Re-naming lets you copy it back if 
need be.
You might also want to re-create the project, as it could be a setting 
in there causing problems...
But I do think it is unrelated to Quanta, because your desktop 
environment should not crash, due to an application playing up

Also provide version number of Quanta and KDE - in Quanta, go to 
help->about and post the Quanta and KDE versions
