Linux (all versions) (or rather the shell, bash in this case) sees the
white space as a break character and thus sees your line as 2 names.

You can disable that by surrounding the entire path to the filename with
double quotes ( " ).  Or you can use the autocomplete feature of the
shell to tab past the space and it will escape the white space with a \
like ".../Program\ Files/...".  OR you can type it with the escaped
white space like I just showed.
