Someone more expert than I am may be able to say more (or correct me if I'm wrong), but it appears that bash opened the file, read 80 bytes, and didn't like what it saw. So: What does "file FLEXPART_GFORTRAN.exe" say about the file? Or maybe you could give us the first few lines from "od -b FLEXPART_GFORTRAN.exe". It's starting to look as if it is not properly built. Or, maybe it got messed with in the process of transfer from the other system.
