That is not true.  cp handles files with any characters just fine (just
tested on an old RHEL 4 system with coreutils-5.2.1).

I would gues you have run into shell quoting issues, but that's the
standard "fun" of using special characters in filenames and Unix shells.
You can't just say:

$ cp File With Spaces.txt /tmp

you have to:

$ cp "File With Space.txt" /tmp
