It's not a permissions issue; by default, MediaWiki a) only accepts
certain extensions, and b) rejects certain mime types.  So, short of
reconfiguring MediaWiki, you'll have to link to somewhere else that the
files are hosted.  (MediaWiki wasn't designed to host files, per se, but
it was designed so that files could be linked to.)
