I wanted to do a very similar thing. Here's how I got it to work using your code EXACTLY.

After running my code to make the file(/storage/emulated/0/Download/_Ascent_Test.txt):

I downloaded the ES File Explorer.

In the "Fast Access" menu towards the bottom I turned "Show hidden files" ON.

Then, also in the "Fast Access" menu, go to local -> / Device.

Now you will be able to navigate to the /storage folder and all the way down to _Ascent_test.txt

From there you can open it and email it yourself. Hope this helped!
