How can I search a folder tree for files and folders whose names end with a space?

I am integrating our Macintoshes into our Windows network and file serving services.  In transferring files from one server to another, I'm coming across problem folders whose names end with a space--something easily handled on a Mac, but not in Windows at all.

How can I search and entire folder tree, in either OS X or Windows, for all files and folders whose names end with a space?

Thanks, Ozo.  But your simple answer made me realize that I didn't provide enough information.

The folder tree I need to search is a network share on a Windows server, though I can access it from either Mac or Windows clients.

Can a OS X command line command be used to search a server share?

yes
find /Volumes/sharename -name '* '
Worked perfectly.
