Folder copied from XP inaccessible in FC2

I mounted my XP partition to copy some files and fonts over to my ~/home directory in FC2. One of the folders is called "Downloaded Files" which I copied by accident. The permissions on everything I copied were wrong and I was able to change them using chmod 755 [filename]; however I can't do anything with the folder "Downloaded Files." The folder is there because "File Browser and "Commander" see it, and I can access it, but when in terminal mode Linux does not see the folder. IE, I cannot chmod or even access the folder. When I run "ls" in terminal it does not list it. If I try to cd /Downloaded Files it says there is no such folder. All I really want to do is delete it.

Is this because the filename is two words?

Have you tried: chmod xxx "Downloaded Files"?

File names with spaces must be enclosed in quotes.

That did it. I figured there was something with filenames with a space but I didn't know what it was.

Thanks!!
