Are spaces allowed in filenames?

Absolutely!

I shovelled some songs to my web site
which is running apache and it is giving an error with the link yet the
names are copied absolutely by a program generating the link list.  Do I
have to modify all the files names and re-run and indeed re-upload all this
stuff?

URLs cannot contain spaces. You either need to replace them with plus signs (which I hardly ever see anyone do these days), or escape them as %20 (20 hexadecimal = 32 decimal which is the character number of the space character). So to post a link to a file called The Beatles - Help.mp3 you use something like this:

http://yourserver.com/the%20beatles%20-%20help.mp3

If this doesn't answer your question, maybe give us a filename and the URL for it which doesn't work.

Geoff.
