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?

FileZilla is a cross platform Open Source FTP client for uploading files to web server. It is one of most used FTP client. It stores password in XML files in its config directory.
There's none by default. You have to create the user accounts on FileZilla server. In this process, you will define both usernames and passwords.
FileZilla will be able to encrypt FTP passwordsWith FileZilla Secure, and starting with FileZilla 3.26. 0, this file will store these passwords in an encrypted format, as seen in the image below. This feature is not turned on by default, and to configure a master password with FileZilla 3.26.
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> All passwords are stored in plain text in this file:
/home/username/.filezilla/recentservers.xml And for newer versions of filezilla and ubuntu, /home/username/.config/filezilla/recentservers.xml If the passwords are base64 encoded, https://www.base64decode.org/ can be used to get the original password.
