What's the file supposed to be? a game? If so, and if it is a WinRAR archive you'll need to extract/decompress the file with the WinRAR program. If you haven't already, download and install WinRAR. Once that's done double click on your downloaded rar file and it should open a WinRAR window



Then select where you want your file extracted to



Most xbox games downloaded from the internet will extract into iso form. Once you have the iso you can burn to disc or use an iso extractor like Craxtion or Qwix to extract and ftp to your xbox hdd.
If you recieve an error when trying to extract your rar file, it probably means it's either a bad/fake file or it's already an iso and WinRAR is associated with the .iso extension.
