There is no such thing as a "WIF file". WIF is not a file type, it is an encoding for private keys. You can get your private keys from Armory is WIF format by going to Wallet Properties > Backup This Wallet > Export Key Lists. The WIF format private keys are labeled as PrivBase58. You should also check the box "omit spaces" at the bottom of the window so that the keys can be easily imported.
