c# variable and string for file location cannot join

I have the string below that works fine: 

/* Upload a File */
ftpClient.upload(GetPublicIpAddress() + ".stats." + userName + ".dat", @"C:\Users\variable\AppData\Roaming\miner\stants.dat");

I am trying to change it so where it says 

users\variable\AppData

it substitutes the user's name for 'variable'. I have this below 

variable = userName
/* Upload a File */
ftpClient.upload(GetPublicIpAddress() + ".stats." + userName + ".dat", @"C:\Users\"+ userName +"\AppData\Roaming\miner\stants.dat");

I get the following error

Error   3   Unrecognized escape sequence    C:\ConsoleApplication1\Program.cs

You need to use @ after the userName when you concatenate it.

You are missing a second @ symbol.

ftpClient.upload(GetPublicIpAddress() + ".stats." + userName + ".dat", @"C:\Users\"+ userName +@"\AppData\Roaming\miner\stants.dat");

Once you split the string into 2, you need to prefix both strings with @.
