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.
