Many ways of doing this, here's one

Code:
cd /where/my/files/are
ls | while IFS=; read file; do
   cp ${file} /some/destination
done

That'll keep the spaces in the filenames. If you don't want the spaces, use tr or sed to change the spaces to underscores.

Code:
cd /where/my/files/are
ls | while read file; do
   cp "${file}" /some/destination/`echo "${file}" | tr ' ' '_'`
done

Edit: Added alternate method to rename files.

Cheers
ZB
