Unfortunately I can not remember the password of FTP server, but it is saved in FileZilla Site Manager (Ubuntu).

How can I view the saved password?

Export your Site Manager information and you'll find them in plain text:

File > Export > Export Site Manager entries

It exports everything in XML like this:

<Server>
 <Host>ftp.example.com</Host>
 <Port>21</Port>
 <Protocol>0</Protocol>
 <Type>0</Type>
 <User>root</User>
 <Pass>mypass</Pass>
 [etc]
</Server>
