Transfer Site Using CPanel Before DNS Change?

So I have a mySQL based site on my old host which I can back-up using CPanel, and I can upload it to HG using CPanel, or at least I could if I could get to my new CPanel without first switching nameservers. I don't want to switch dns until I know I've got everything sorted at this end but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do it. Now, if I had an IP address...

Don't worry, I've since located the IP address, I received 16 copies of the confirmation e-mail, but only 1 of them had the IP address included in it, the rest had a blank and I was looking at one of those, hence my confusion...
