That will always be there. It's part of unix.

Same happens if you have directory/filenames with embeded
spaces on a local filesystem.

bash and tcsh will automatically add the quotes for you
if you use filename complation.

Also these bothe will work:

cd "/mnt/NT/De Martino/foo"
cd /mnt/NT/De\ Martino/foo
 
(using the '\' to escape the space character.
Also works for other characters like

more h\&\*l\ no\!\!

but many programs cannot handle them. Windos
won't allow them at all.
