It's okay to showing at my first time logging into the server. But seeing this message all the time - I find that a little unnecessary.

Can someone please show me how to disable it ?

Solution

Most sane solution, if it's your own server, would be to disable the motd in in the SSH daemon config. Set PrintMotd in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to no and restart the ssh daemon.

Alternatively, you can try to touch ~/.hushlogin, which creates an empty file in your home folder. Daemons that allow remote logins traditionally check for presence of this file and if it is present, they will let you log in quietly.
