What should work then, is for you to redirect the output of the AppServer
to a log file. Then, have Apache (assuming that this is what you're using)
server up the log file as well as the cached PSP files using mod_alias,
etc.. This will give the user access to all the output from print
statements, etc. You might also want to give the user access to Apache's
error log since this is sometimes useful during debugging.

Developing applications without shell access seems a bit masochistic
though... as a matter of curiosity, how does he/she edit the PSP files? On
the balance I think the user is probably better off developing the app on
his/her local machine prior to upload the PSP scripts to the other machine
that he/she doesn't have shell access to.
