The [**SMB**](https://camel.apache.org/components/4.10.x/smb-component.html) component allows the flow to integrate with directories shared via SMB/CIFS protocol, enabling files to be sent directly to a remote server.

The integration supports sending multiple files in a single execution and allows configuring control parameters and message headers to customize the processing and routing of sent files.

**URI syntax**: `smb:hostname:port/shareName`

## Example

The flow below sends a file to an SMB server:

<Steps>
  <Step>
   The flow is triggered by a GET request on the `/test` endpoint.
  </Step>
  <Step>
    The body (setBody) of the message is set to the text `It worked!`.
  </Step>
  <Step>
    The header (setHeader) `CamelFileName` is set to `poc-smb.txt`, indicating the name of the file that will be created/sent.
  </Step>
    <Step>
   The content is sent to an SMB share (Windows File Share) at address `server-example`, port `445`, in the `myshare` share. The parameters are the `username` and `password` credentials.
  </Step>
  <Step>
   After sending, a log is recorded with the message `Successfully completed`.
  </Step>
 </Steps>
