well, that is under 'project settings', but can be done only _after_ a project 
has already been created.

ok, so you seem to work directly on the remote server, do you ?
although that works quite well in quanta through the ftp-kio-slave, it has its 
drawbacks:
e.g. you don't have a backup as you are constantly working on the live-system,
which also implies that each mistake you make during your work, will instantly 
affect that.
my recommendation is to use a local copy to work on, and then use the handy 
upload feature from quanta to push your changes to the live system, once 
you're done and satisfied.
in which case you just can keep the project file at the top level of the 
directory structure, then excluding it from upload.
