URLs typically come out like this:

Example 1: http://www.website.com/file/file1/file2

After I upload/put, the URLs come out like this (using the above as an
example):

Example 2: http://www.website.com/file/file1%20file2

What do I need to do (and how) to make them come up like example 1?

Replace the space (%20) with a forward slash (/)

looks like you have a space in folder name or filename.

Don't listen to this - it's incorrect.

There are a few problems here.

If you want this:

Example 1: http://www.website.com/file/file1/file2

.... then the things you're calling "file", "file1" and "file2" need to be
directories, not files.

Files that browsers display as web pages almost always end with .htm, .html,
or a few other extensions. They always have some file extension (the part
after the period).

Example 2: http://www.website.com/file/file1%20file2

On another subject entirely: if you're seeing "%20" in your URL, it's
because you left a BLANK SPACE in the file name or directory name.

You need to fix that file or directory name. If you do it from within DW, it
will prompt you to update any pages that are linked to it. Then you'll need
to re-upload all of those changed pages.

This indicates that you have a space in the filename. Spaces are not valid in url's and thus should not be used in paths and filenames.

Technically it is a valid URL.

Indeed, but that's for other reasons.

His example shows directories 3 deep, with the space in the final directory
name.

But only if encoded right?

Well you're right, but at this point I'm not really sure what he is asking exactly.

Some clarification would be good. :-)
