If the file begins "MZ" (the MS-DOS stub found at the start of Windows executables) then it's very likely to be a Windows program intended for execution, which would be bad news.

It's interesting that you say "index.html" -- does this server serve all static pages, or does index.html reference a CMS that could have vulnerabilities?
