+Spring Integration - SMB Sample
+===============================
+
+## Introduction
+
+This samples demonstrate some simple usage of the *Spring Integration* support for [Server Message Block][] (SMB). The sample will poll an SMB remote directory.
+
+## How to Run the Sample
+
+You can execute this sample simply via [Maven][]:
+
+ $ mvn clean package exec:java
+
+The sample will ask you for:
+
+* SMB Host
+* SMB Share and Directory
+* SMB Username
+* SMB Password
+
+When running the sample you should see the following screen output:
+
+ 14:19:02.145 INFO [org.springframework.integration.samples.smb.Main.main()][org.springframework.integration.samples.smb.Main]
+ =========================================================
+
+ Welcome to the Spring Integration Smb Sample
+
+ For more information please visit:
+ https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-integration-extensions
+
+ =========================================================
+ Please enter the:
+ - SMB Host
+ - SMB Share and Directory
+ - SMB Username
+ - SMB Password
+ Host: mySmbHost
+ Share and Directory (e.g. myFile/path/to/): demoShare/demoPath/
+ Username (e.g. guest): guest
+ Password (can be empty):
+ 14:19:22.130 INFO [org.springframework.integration.samples.smb.Main.main()][org.springframework.integration.samples.smb.Main]
+ =========================================================
+
+ Please press 'q + Enter' to quit the application.
+
+ =========================================================
+ Polling from Share: smb://guest@mySmbHost/demoShare/demoPath/
+ 14:19:23.044 INFO [task-scheduler-1][org.springframework.integration.samples.smb] File Name: demo.data(597)
+
+The polled files will be stored under `target/smb-out`.
