How do I go to a directory with 2 words and a space in between them?

I couldn't "cd" or copy a directory with two words for example "HD Movies"

Type the first letter or two of the directory "cd HD" then press the TAB key to autofill in the rest. Or, use "cd HD*".

As a regular practice, it is recommended that you don't use spaces as they can cause all sorts of issues. Use an underscore or some other character whenever possible.

I set up a scheduled FTP job to copy from one volume to another.  I'm not sure if that used the internal loopback adapter, or if it actually went out to the network and back.  There's no progress bar, and I'm not sure if it was much faster than copying to my PC and back.  Anyone else tried it?
