Like Richard said, you can use quotes if you're passing things to the shell, and also a backslash will work too. The only thing I would avoid if possible is spaces in paths that would reach the client side, i.e. in image paths, css files, etc, as I've heard historic browsers have trouble sometimes escaping the spaces automatically.
