Code:
find /usr/script_test -type f -mtime +10>/usr/ftprm.txt

while read filename
do
        ftp -i -n << EOF
        open 192.168.1.75

        prompt
        put ${filename}
EOF
#     if [ `grep -c "^226" ftp_log.txt ` -eq 1 ]
#     then
#      rm ${filename}
#     echo ${filename}
#     else

Do you happen to have spaces in the file names? That could cause it to go a bit wobbly.

Perhaps a bit of debug in the script would help. Try:-
Code:
find /usr/script_test -type f -mtime +10>/usr/ftprm.txt

while read filename
do
        ftp -i -n << EOF
        open 192.168.1.75
        user loguser bramer_123
        prompt
!echo "Sending file \"${filename}\""
!ls -l "${filename}"
        put "${filename}"
EOF
done

Let me know what output you get and we'll have another think. If you paste them into your post, please use the code tags to make it easier to read. Highlight the text to be shown as code then press the 15th button above (Starts with the Bold Italic Underline formatting buttons) The one you want looks like a white box with "co" over "de" in it. You may have to either press the "Go Advanced" button or the "Post Reply" button to get it to show up.

I hope that this helps. Let's see what output we get.
