Access SharePoint 2013 from Linux/ Ubuntu

For a long time I couldn't access SharePoint 2013 from my Ubuntu machine.

when I try to access it, I get this error:

401 UNAUTHORIZED

Here is the solution for this problem:

1- Use any other machine to access SharePoint and for each site you want to access from Ubuntu disable (  Minimal Download Strategy ) feature.

Site settings -> Manage site features -> Disable Download Strategy





2- Make sure you use the fully qualified name for your SharePoint server in the URL
so instead of http://sharepointserver, use http://sharepointserver.compnaydomain.com

not using the fully qualified name will cause SharePoint to keep prompting you for user name and password.
