We use the PHP FTP stuff in some of our work. Where is it choking for you? 
What error message(s) are you getting? If you can paste some of your code 
and some of the output, that might help too.

If you haven't already tried escaping the spaces with backslashes, that 
would be my first thought. My next try would be quoting the string with 
spaces in it. If neither of those work, I'd try using appropriate 
wildcards (like ? or maybe *) to match the files for an mget or something. 
And as a last resort, you could rename the files so they don't have spaces 
in them anymore, if that's a possibility.
