May be the following code will help you:
def member_data
    member = Member.find(:all)
    stream_csv do |csv|
      csv << ["First Name","Last Name","Email"]
      member.each do |u|
          csv << [u.first_name,u.last_name,u.email]
      end
    end
end

Explanation: Member is the model name. First name, last name and email
are the fields shown while downloading CSV.
Following code to be written in rhtml file:
<%= link_to 'download', :controller => 'reports', :action =>
'member_data' %>
