Unless there's some reason why you don't want a .svn folder to exist in the read-only copy (eg. space constraints or tools that get confused by its presence), then the best way to handle this is to set up an account on your server that only has read-only access to the repository, then check out a working copy as that user.

You can then simply "svn up" either manually or as a scheduled or hook task to keep this copy up to date.
