is MacOS is to use the Finder. type cd at the prrompt then locate the 
folder in Finder and drag it to the Terminal window. That should cause 
the Terminal to change to that folder


The other thing to do is to let the shell copmplete the name for you, 
thus type

cd /jwb<tab>

and the shell will complete the first folder for you, then type bi<tab> 
to complete bin and so on. That will ensure the spaces are handled 
correctly.
