Exclamation Accessing files/folders with spaces

Hi there,
our unix and windows are related. i.e. if i save a file while being on windows my unix profile would contain the same file, at the same location. so i can access all my files through unix prompt. but if i save a file/folder being on windows account and put spaces between the name of the folder or file then i am unable to access it through unix. i use SSH. for example under my home directory i have a folder My Name. when i do cd My Name, i get an error sayin no such file or directory! this is not a problem though since SSH allows me to upload this folder from my school directory to my desktop(like we do in kazaa). my question is, can we access such directories or files which contain spaces in their names?
Thanks
