I'm somewhat unsure what you mean by "read space between 2 words". Your code snippet doesn't read anything but produces a list of values that the for loop variable then assumes. Completing your code and echoing $Fname in the loop, I get
Code:
GEOR_ES_T_AND_L.dat
GEOR_LPI_T_AND_L.dat
GEOR_NZ_T_AND_L.dat
GEOR_GBL_T_AND_L.dat
GEOR_FR_T_AND_L.dat
GEOR_LPI_T_AND_L.dat
GEOR_DK_T_AND_L.dat
GEOR_LPI_T_AND_L.dat

Isn't that what you'd expect?

Guessing that you are using some Bourne shell descendant, IFS - which is used to split an input line into words - is set to "<space><TAB><newline>" by default. So it wouldn't occur neither in a for loop value list nor in a while read loop.
