(The advise of the day is: you should not put spaces in filenames. Especially not when they can be accessed over the web.)
More specifically, I believe a space is not a legal character in a URL, although various browsers may (illegally!) accept them.
As pointed out, you can access filenames with illegal URL characters by hex encoding them. Space would be "%20". But in general, don't put illegal URL characters in file names if you intend for them to be accessed from a web browser. Safest bet is to limit URL characters to alphabetic letters, numerals, underscore, and hyphen. Note that some non-alphanumerics (like "?", "=" or "&") have their own semantics in a URL, and MUST be avoided or hex-encoded to work in ANY browser!
