BuddyPress.org

first you only allow pdf, txt and doc or docx documents setting the mime tipes in your php script tu upload docs, and if is posible try using a server base antivirus if your server have one =)

If your host have control panel, enter to your file manager browse to the indicate directory and set the persmissions to 755 or 775 whit this permissions are not critial.
Or you try changin permissions whith your ftp client e.g. Filazilla
