Start to type in the Name (first Letter OK) and be sure to be case sensitive. Then hit the TAB key. It will fill it out! (assuming that there are no other files in that directory with a similar name.

Just put a \ backslash before the space.

Or you can enclose the name in quotation marks "like this"

Quotes or escape the spaces

Use quotes:
touch "/Volumes/My iPod/iPod_Control/Device/_show_voltage"
or use a backslash before each space to escape it:
touch /Volumes/My\ iPod/iPod_Control/Device/_show_voltage
