When scp ing a file which has white spaces in its name have to escape twice,
because it's escaped locally and then on the remote end.
There are a couple of options you can do (in bash):
scp user@example.com:"'web/tmp/Master File 18 10 13.xls'" .
scp user@example.com:"web/tmp/Master\ File\ 18\ 10\ 13.xls" .
scp user@example.com:web/tmp/Master\\\ File\\\ 18\\\ 10\\\ 13.xls .
