I can't navigate (or do anything else like dired-do-chmod) using dired when directories have spaces or special characters over a tramp connection. I think it's because Emacs is putting quotes '' or "" around the folders in question.
Using `emacs -Q` and navigate to a directory like below. I can hit RET to go to Folder1 but neither 'Folder 2' nor "Folder's 4". Note that the folders don't actually have quotation marks in their name --- Emacs is adding that in the dired buffer.
drwxrwsr-x 3 owner group 4096 Jan 9 19:29 Folder1
drwxrwsr-x 3 owner group 4096 Jan 9 20:47 'Folder 2'
drwxrwsr-x 3 owner group 4096 Jan 9 19:30 "Folder's_3"

Looks like newer coreutils ls's quoting, so probably already fixed in
Emacs by

Thanks for the reply.
The commit happened in July of last year, is it not in Emacs 25.1? (Also, is there an easy way to see that information for myself?)

PS probably you can add QUOTING_STYLE=literal to your environment, or
tramp-remote-process-environment, to avoid this.

Thanks, adding it to tramp-remote-process-environment works!

No. It will be in whatever-next-release-from-master-is (26.1).

You could look at tramp-sh.el in your version of Emacs.
Otherwise, I don't know how you tell without having a copy of the Emacs
git repository.
