When I FTP these files to my WP installation, my site is broken. All I see is some basic text from the site.

My files are the same size as those on the screen so not thinking they are corrupted. When I remove the new functions.php file and replace with the one from the main theme, the site is restored, but there's no new widget.

Here's the error I'm getting: Fatal error: Call to undefined function twentythirteen_entry_meta() in /htdocs/wordpress4/wp-content/themes/twentythirteenchild/content.php on line 30.

But I didn't edit any of these files and I don't see a call (direct, anyway) to the twentythirteen_entry_meta() function in the functions.php file in the project files zip.

Sounds like there might be an error in your functions.php file. In your wp-config.php file try setting define( 'WP_DEBUG' ) to true and see if you get any helpful errors.
