Uploading Python Modules to FME ServerIf you have a Python module you need to use on FME Server which is not part of the Python standard library, use the Upload tool on the Resources page of the Web User Interface, and upload it to the folder under Engine\\Plugins\\python that corresponds to the Python release compatible with the module (for example, python27).
Note that to use arcpy you need to have a license available on the machine running the FME Engine.

Thanks for the response, a followup, for arcpy which files specifically should I upload ? There are quite a few of them..

I believe you need to have arcGIS installed in order to check out a licence. Make sure to also install the 64-bit background geoprocessing. http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/analyze/executing-tools/64bit-background.htm to use arcpy in 64-bit fme.
