You have to add quotes in bash if the filename contains a space. Variables should also be quoted for the same reason, because their values might contain spaces. "${var}"

Only in a script. On the command line, tab expansion will escape any special characters in a filename.

don't forget to handle filenames with newlines in them as well!
