Try using some editors to remove the spaces or try using awk commands if you are using unix to remove the spaces. Last option is to use replace command to remove all the spaces in the field after uploading. Example,
SQL> desc users;
Name Null? Type
------------------------------- -------- ----
USERNAME VARCHAR2(30)
NAME VARCHAR2(30)
13:37:50 SQL> insert into users values('s a r a d a p r i y a', 'sp');
1 row created.
real: 0
13:37:59 SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
real: 16
13:38:02 SQL> select * from users;
USERNAME NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
SARADA SARADA
s a r a d a p r i y a sp
real: 31
13:38:07 SQL> select replace(username, ' ', '') "username", name from users;
username NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
