Spaces in Unix file names

Some older ABI sequencers make files named (e.g.)"Sample 01.Seq" on their Macs.
Dartmouth's Fetch for some reason will copy the file to Unix and leave
the space in the filename (It doesn't do that to VMS.).  
SeqLab chokes on such entries since space is a field delimiter in Unix 
commands. 

Does anyone know how to doctor Fetch to always remove blanks?
Does anyone have a script that'll remove blanks from filenames on a
Unix System?
