Selva,
do a man sshd_config and look for Banner.

Hi Selva,

You need to edit /opt/ssh/etc/sshd.conf and look for banner.

# no default banner path
#Banner /some/path

Also, I am not sure SFTP supports banner.

From the Man page(chopped up.)
Banner
In some jurisdictions, sending a warning message before authentication may be relevant for getting legal protection. The contents of the specified file are sent to the remote user before authentication is allowed. This option is only available for protocol version 2. By default, no banner is displayed.

Basicially, specify a file and restart the daemon. The contents of the file are displayed.

Put whatever you want on the issue file
