Certainly. That's DNS.
You have an URL: www.mysite.org

It points to the actual IP. The IP changes: a script at your site
notices and updates the DNS entry to point to the new IP.

Of course, the people that are at that instant downloading a file will
be disrupted. They have to connect again and tell their client to
refresh. Depending, the client will be able to continue where it was or
will start again the download.

No, NFS is not what you want. Plain http is, if you want to host the
files yourself. You have to set an apache server for that.  But if you
use ADSL, your clients will have to download pretty slowly. Better get a
fibre to the home connection.

However, perhaps youtube is easier, if what you have are lessons in video.

An alternative to http, if you want to control who downloads, is scp
(secure copy). ie, ssh.

As to the DNS: you have to set up a dynamic DNS setup with someone. It
is possible that your router already knows about some of these, so you
need to register, perhaps pay, and set it up.
