Put its name in quote marks or a backslash before the space.

In the Terminal, when you want to change directory to a folder whose name contains white-space, you can do the following path completion if you don't want to manually escape the space. You replace the angle-bracket tab notation with a single tab key press, and the next line is what the shell updates on the same line. Then press return and you enter that space punctuated folder.

cd File<tab>
cd File\ 1/

The Finder is happy with any character except ':' and in the Terminal where UNIX lives, there are certain characters (including white-space) that must be escaped from the shell.

There are times spaces are disallowed. This may be one of them.
