If you are using *nix set the file, or directory permissions recursively, to 777.
If you want to let the users download the file it may be simpler to generate the content and send it directly to them when they click on a link. http://www.phpbuilder.com/mail/phplib-list/2001062/0017.php explains but basically set the header using header("Content-Type: application/force-download"); and then output the file.
