An easy way to find out would be to scan it with your favorite Windows 
Antivirus software.

But the real reason for my reply is to urge you to seek an alternative 
to the anonymous ftp upload situation you have in place.  It's 
generally accepted to be a bad thing.  If you WANT someone to put 
something there, it's usually easy enough to send them some account 
information.  You could even use a simple one-time password solution 
like S/Key (OPIE).
