While I am working on code to download file from server using :
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" +
Server.UrlPathEncode(Path.GetFileName(_Filename)));
The problem is while having spaces in the file name, with this code the server split automatically while finding the first space!
I'm hoping to know Why & what is the solution for that?

Use quotation marks when specifying long filenames or paths with spaces. For example, typing the copy c:\my file name d:\my new file name command at the command prompt results in the following error message: The system cannot find the file specified.
Avoid spacesA space in a filename can cause errors when loading a file or when transferring files between computers. Common replacements for spaces in a filenames are dashes (-) or underscores (_). Alternatively you can also use a technique called camelCase which uses letter case to separate name elements.
Don't start or end your filename with a space, period, hyphen, or underline. Keep your filenames to a reasonable length and be sure they are under 31 characters. Most operating systems are case sensitive; always use lowercase. Avoid using spaces and underscores; use a hyphen instead.
You need to wrap the filename in double quotes.
string filename = Server.UrlPathEncode(Path.GetFileName(_Filename)));
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + filename + "\"");
Otherwise the code assumes that the filename ends at the first space.
You might not need the Server.UrlPathEncode.
